Medical student dies by suicide at Jabalpur hostel; ragging alleged
Jabalpur: A first-year medical student at Netaji Subhash Chandra Medical College died by suicide on Thursday after jumping from the fourth floor of the college hostel. While the student's family has alleged ragging, police are also probing the possibility of a personal relationship behind the extreme step. CSP Garha HR Pandey said Shivansh Gupta, a first-year medical student originally from Rewa, jumped from the fourth floor of Hostel No 4 around 12 pm on Thursday. The police registered a case and are investigating the matter. The family claims that the student called them to report ragging at the college. Furthermore, inquiries with his friends revealed a romantic involvement. The police are examining both aspects, and action will be taken against those found guilty based on evidence during the investigation. Dr Navneet Saxena, the Dean of the Medical College Hospital, stated that first-year students were accommodated together in the hostel, making ragging unlikely. Additionally, under the mentorship programme, one teacher is assigned to every 20 students. A seven-member internal committee has been formed to investigate the family's allegations seriously, and the committee has been instructed to submit its report within seven days. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Jabalpur: A first-year medical student at Netaji Subhash Chandra Medical College died by suicide on Thursday after jumping from the fourth floor of the college hostel.
